Production and Quality Control Facilities

Quality assured standards of Life Chemicals products and services are guaranteed by the application of up-to-date experimental and analytical equipment for organic synthesis, combinatorial chemistry, quality control, and storage. Well-established production processes and excellent logistic systems enable safe and on-time delivery of compounds. Please see the Quality Control page for the related services we offer.

Renovated Building

Life Chemicals has recently renovated its production site where over 2,000 m² of space and all modern facilities are available for advanced chemistry practice.

There are more than 50 synthetic chemists working in our laboratories and units that are engaged in creating the entire scope of our products, ranging from HTS compounds to custom synthesis and early drug discovery projects.

Synthetic Labs

To perform the most diverse and sophisticated synthetic procedures our chemists are provided with the full range of modern equipment:

  • Biotage® Microwave station
  • Paar® autoclaves
  • Photochemistry lab
  • Specialized facility for handling highly toxic reagents

Life Chemicals production capacities also include laboratories for complex multistep synthesis that can be carried out in milligram to multi-kilogram scales.

NMR Lab

The NMR Laboratory is equipped with NMR spectrometer system Varian® VNMRS 400 MHz with an Oxford Instruments superconducting magnet, ready for ¹H, ¹⁹F, ¹³C, ³¹P measurements and advanced 2D NMR techniques, such as gradient COSY, NOESY, HMQC, HMBC, INADEQUATE, etc.
